All Earth Observation & Geospatial Analytics

AlongWave is the commercial brand of AlongRoute Data IKE, a Greek deep-tech company providing global marine-weather and ocean-condition intelligence for maritime applications. The company delivers forecasts, historical reconstructions and tailored intelligence on waves, winds and ocean currents through APIs, SFTP, standard data formats, interactive maps, visual products and specialised analyses. Its solutions are designed to integrate directly into existing maritime software and operational workflows, supporting voyage optimisation, fleet performance, marine risk, offshore operations, post-voyage analysis and other weather-dependent activities.

AlongWave develops its own multi-source marine intelligence and modelling stack, combining Earth Observation and satellite-derived data, in-situ ocean observations, oceanographic and geospatial expertise, ocean-state reconstruction, physics-aware AI, forecasting, validation and calibration. This enables the company to build a richer representation of marine conditions before translating it into operationally useful intelligence.

Earth Observation is a key component of this capability, helping strengthen the reconstruction, analysis and validation of ocean conditions, particularly where direct marine measurements are sparse. AlongWave translates space-derived environmental information into downstream marine-weather intelligence for real-world maritime use cases.

Its business model is primarily B2B, positioning AlongWave as a marine-weather intelligence layer beneath existing routing, optimisation, fleet-management and decision-support systems. Target users include voyage-optimisation and weather-routing platforms, fleet-performance and maritime-software providers, shipping and marine-risk applications, as well as offshore energy, ports, marine infrastructure, insurance and other weather-sensitive sectors. The company’s end-to-end approach allows customers to source the marine-weather intelligence, modelling, processing and delivery layer directly from AlongWave rather than assembling a fragmented multi-vendor solution.

AviSense develops AI and augmented reality tools that help people detect hidden hazards, anticipate risks and make safer decisions. We combine information from cameras, sensors and satellites into a clear, shared view, with timely alerts and visual guidance for operators and field teams.

Our mission is to make complex environments—such as cities, airports and industrial sites—safer and easier to manage. Our vision is a future where teams have the information they need to prevent incidents before they happen.

A spin-off of the University of Patras and Athena Research Center, AviSense combines strong research foundations with hands-on experience in AI, computer vision, sensor fusion and augmented reality. Through Horizon Europe projects, the ESA BIC Greece programme and real-world demonstrations, we translate advanced technology into practical tools that address operational needs.

Cloud Signals has developed a product bundle offering the transport network that connects the core net-work and the RAN (Radio Access Network) of the mobile network, services making use of the 5G stand-ards, and addressing 5G vertical markets (ubiquitous coverage, disaster relief, public safety require-ments, emergency response, remote sensor connectivity, broadcast service, etc.) as well as corresponding use cases. To support the broadest range of use cases, 5G needs to integrate within a comprehensive sys-tem of all available communication technologies, exploiting their strengths and values. Satellite networks are among the most mature communication technologies, having specific advantages in geographically distributed and dynamic networks. They provide highly efficient, effective, and expedient network deploy-ments, leveraging their intrinsic advantages in broadcasting capabilities, global coverage, reduced reliance on terrestrial infrastructure, and high security. Satellite networks are nowadays considered as part of the 5G use case deployments. Many use cases can be better and more rapidly served using an integrated 5G satellite-terrestrial network rather than relying on terrestrial-only solutions. These include providing com-munication services to remote areas and to rural and dense urban environments, like on-premises local networks, content distribution, content acquisition, highly distributed IoT networks, and private mobile and nomadic network deployments. Cloud Signals was founded by executives in the space and telecom industries and leverages the founders’ 20+ years of experience and resources to address innovative solu-tions and opportunities in satellite operations, telecommunication payloads, ESA, and EC projects, as well as the telecommunications markets in 4 continents.
